    The Tuning school Releases 6-Speed Tuning Guide

    6-Speed Automatic Transmission Tuning Guide

    The Tuning School's 6-Speed Automatic Transmission Tuning Guide will give you the transmission performance you always wanted it to be, with an easy step-by-step method you can follow. You can make the transmission shift on time, and as firm as you want - the difference is night and day!

    Several students have already seen improved performance from following these easy steps. One student with a 2009 G8 GT saw a 0.3 second ET improvement with these changes. A customer commented on experiencing tire-barking improvements that they never thought possible. This tuning guide has been crafted through months of research and thousands of development miles on our test vehicles, a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette with the 6-Speed Automatic Transmission and a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT with the 6-Speed Automatic Transmission.

    This 20 page guide includes step-by-step instructions with full color photos from HP Tuners VCM Editor screen shots.

    Please note that if you have purchased or plan on purchasing The Tuning School Advanced Guide to Tuning GM Vehicles with HP Tuners Software, this material is included with that guide.

    Price: $79

    Please Visit our web site to purchase.

    I can't even get you guys to e-mail me back, so I just ordered Banish's DVD and will probably take his course in person.

    [email protected]

    I've sent several e-mails. I never recieved the extra material released after I bought the basic course, and while when I went to purchase it communication was great, since it's been...nearly non-existent.
    [email protected] is not the correct email or part of the tuning school. if would have send it to the right email we would have been glad to have taken care of you.

    If you need updates or support for the learn at home courses please send e-mails to [email protected] or [email protected]. All updates are free to learn at home customers.

    Haha. Then it would have been awful nice if whoever was at the end of the e-mail when I sent it to the "wrong" addy would have told me that...months ago, since I know that was a working e-mail since it was replied to when I wanted to order.

    I'll shoot an e-mail to that address.

    Would be good if the manual informed the student about the theory behind the changes instead of just telling you what to do. That way people could play around a bit more with confidence as they understand what their changes will affect and why...

    Just a thought

    Just ask here if you picked up the simple $79 version...OR if you purchased the beginner/advanced coarse learn @ home system you can get 1yr of FREE phone, email, and forum support with special log in/password to ask questions openly in their private forum. Only those who purchase the learn at home coarses or attend an in person class get the later benefits by the way. Hence the additional cost or future support beyond the book or in person class.

    Exactly! I've worried the hell out of Ian. He's helped me a lot though.

    i just ordered the transmission tuning guide.... so far im not as impressed as i should be.. but i will give them the benefit of the doubt.... I have not put it on a race track to prove anything.. therefore i wont say its a bad thing.. The shifts are clean, quick.. and feel good.BUT i don't get the "tire barking" affect that was said in the top post.. However i have one done what was said on the tuneing guide, i haven't started bringing the shift pressures over the "recomended 15psi" .So we will see with a bit of work and ill reply again....
